Scary Movie 1-4, Date Movie, Superhero Movie, Naked Gun, Disaster Movie, Top Secret, Airplane 1-2, Epic Movie, Here Come The Spartans, Hot Shots, Hot Shots Part Deux, Silence of the Hams, Vampires Suck and Loaded Weapon all have something in common...they could not make more money than Titanic. But strangely that is okay because all those movies would have no problem mocking Titanic. The irreverent clown inside each one of us loves the slapstick parody movie, but due to a consistent steaming pile of crappy offerings we have been afraid to watch them. This post does not want to solve this dilemma, but remind us what made us fall in love with the parody movie.
Here's what we love about parody movies:
1. Run-On Jokes- whenever a joke involves an ever evolving list of crazier and crazier jokes.
2. Popular Culture Inside Joke- using some popular time piece from culture into your video. Jive talk was taken from the movie Shaft. No one remembers Shaft's version.
3. Puns- it's the little stupid jokes that make us shout "genius" when we hear them.
4. The Fart in Church- taking something meant to be serious and making it sound silly at the last second
5. Actor debuts- it's always a fun Easter Egg to see a well known character pop out of nowhere
6. The Set-up- jokes that are prepared in such a way that something silly can easily come after them.
